In the fifth round at the candidates stage of the IEM Major 2022 tournament, two European teams OG and Vitality will play a decisive match for reaching the next stage.
OGThis European team met our expectations yesterday and was able to get a fairly confident victory in the match for survival at the tournament.
In a game of the VO3 OG format on two maps, but still in a stubborn struggle, IHC from Mongolia was outplayed – 16:11 Inferno (the opponent's peak) and 16:14 Ancient. In this meeting, the Russian player OG degster performed well, who finished the meeting with a score of +22 in frags.
VitalityThis European team also played a survival match at the tournament yesterday.
At the same time, Vitality got a much weaker rival from Australia. In the game of the VO3 format, Vitality showed a dominant game and won a crushing victory over Grayhound – 16:6 Inferno (the opponent's peak) and 16:12 Mirage. In this meeting, as part of Vitality, of course, the French player ZywOo played very strongly, who finished the meeting with a score of +22 in frags.
Vitality and OG last played against each other on August 19 at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 LAN tournament. Then, in the semifinals of the upper grid of group A in the VO1 format game on the Dust2 map, Vitality turned out to be stronger with a score of 16:11.
ForecastIn this match, Vitality is considered by bookmakers to be a fairly clear favorite.
Although OG play quite unstable, but in this game they have no right to make mistakes if they want to break into the stage of "legends". There should be a hard fight in this meeting, and therefore we suggest that you bet more than 63.5 rounds on the total.
